In a photoemissive cell with executing wavelengthλ, the fastest electron has speed v. If the exciting wavelength is changed to3λ4, the speed of fastest emitted electron will be

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

According to photoelectric equation,

hv-ω0=12 mvmax2

hcλ-hcλ0=12  mvmax2

hcλ0-λ λ⋅λ0=12mvmax2

vmax=2hcm λ0-λ λ⋅λ0

When wavelength isλand velocity v, then

v=2hcm λ0-λ λ⋅λ0..... (i)

When wavelength is3λ4and velocity isv′then

v′=2hcmλ0-3λ43λ4×λ0...... (ii

Divide equation (ii) by equation (i), we get

v′v=λ0-3λ43λλ04×λλ0λ0-λ

v′=v4312λ0-3λ4λλ0=v′>v4312
